Moving from interstate

You must hold a QBCC licence before you carry out any building work in Queensland.

If you have a licence in another state, you can apply for an equivalent QBCC licence without the need to provide a technical qualification or experience. However, in some cases you may need to complete a managerial qualification.

Is my interstate licence equivalent?

You can find a handy search tool for equivalent licences between each state at the Licence Recognition website. It gives a rough idea of the equivalent licence, but ultimately, we need to assess your application before a final decision can be reached.

Companies

Companies can’t use the mutual recognition process. See Apply for a company licence for more information.
